Welcome

The Comcast Media & Technology Center (CMTC) is a visionary collaboration between Comcast and the University of Colorado Denver’s College of Arts & Media (CAM) and College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS).

COMCAST MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER:

A catalyst to inspire innovation, creativity and research that advances discovery and education

The Comcast Media and Technology Center (CMTC) is a transdisciplinary center for innovation. The Center fosters an environment in which students and researchers generate, develop and activate culturally focused, action-oriented education, research, commercial enterprises and community services.

As a partnership between University of Colorado Denver’s College of Arts & Media (CAM) and College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS), CMTC originated from a generous gift from Comcast inspired by their commitment to developing a versatile workforce fully prepared to solve interdisciplinary challenges.

CMTC is actively seeking research and education partners both within and outside the traditional university structure. If you have a potential project or would like to participate, please contact us at cmtc@ucdenver.edu.
